==Structure and bonding== ==Structure==
Ni(C<sub>5</sub>H<sub>5</sub>)<sub>2</sub> belongs to a group of organometallic compounds called ]s. Metallocenes usually adopt sandwich structures in which a metal ] is sandwiched between two parallel ] rings, a structure which not only confers stability but also solubility in organic solvents and volatility (nickelocene readily sublimes under vacuum).

The Ni center has a formal 2+ charge, and the Cp rings are usually assigned as cyclopentadienyl anions (Cp<sup>-</sup>), related to cyclopentadiene by deprotonation (this structure is similar to ]). In terms of its electronic structure, three pairs of d electrons on nickel are allocated to the three d orbitals involved in Ni - Cp bonding: d<sub>xy</sub>, d<sub>x<sup>2</sup>–y<sup>2</sup></sub>, d<sub>z<sup>2</sup></sub>. One of the two remaining d-electrons resides in each of the d<sub>yz</sub> and d<sub>xz</sub> orbitals, giving rise to the molecule's paramagnetism. With 20 ]s, nickelocene has the highest electron count of the transition metal metallocenes. ], Co(C<sub>5</sub>H<sub>5</sub>)<sub>2</sub>, is, however, a stronger reducing agent.

In terms of its electronic structure, three pairs of d electrons on nickel are allocated to the three d orbitals involved in Ni–Cp bonding: d<sub>''xy''</sub>, d<sub>''x''<sup>2</sup>–''y''<sup>2</sup></sub>, d<sub>''z''<sup>2</sup></sub>. The two remaining d-electrons each reside in the d<sub>''yz''</sub> and d<sub>''xz''</sub> orbitals, giving rise to the molecule's paramagnetism, as manifested in the unusually high field chemical shift observed in its <sup>1</sup>H ]. With 20 ]s, nickelocene has the highest electron count of the transition metal metallocenes. ], Co(C<sub>5</sub>H<sub>5</sub>)<sub>2</sub>, with only 19 valence electrons is, however, a stronger reducing agent, illustrating the fact that electron energy, not electron count determines redox potential.
